    Bro, that'd true, but he's still the unseated number 1 guy at Ww being he'd still an active fighter. He isn't retired.

    Loma at #2? Nah. He looked bad against Linares up until that lucky ko.

    Sorry, beating Gassive/Briedis/Glowacki/Hunter does not get you into no HOF, way too soon for that. Let's be honest here.

    A good trajectory, but nope.

    IF he retired today, he isn't getting in. Just as if Loma retired today he isn't getting in, Crawford either.

    HOF is for GREAT fighters with great resumes, not good.

    Why though...he ate 4 flush full power shots in that closing sequence. I mean the fighter himself didn’t object, I get what you’re saying, but whether it was stopped or not the point remains, he wrecked him in that round.

    Yes it does. Gassiev and Briedis are better fighters than anything Crawford has fought. Briedis is miles ahead of Crawford's competition. Now I know nobody in America cares about the CW division because it's not broadcasted or covered in the media. But I don't think you realize that 200 is/was stacked.

    I’m not being funny, he might as well be, when was his last fight? It seems like years (plural) ago...even if he came back, you’re looking at what a year or two from a significant fight? That would push him almost 5 years from a significant fight...

    I know how stacked it was, but he has a WAYS to go before being HOF, no one can deny that. Let's see a HW title before we talk about HOF, let's see more.

    You underrate Crawford's competition, he's beaten a bevy of VERY good fighters already, I think you really have to look at it again.

    Like I said, Beltran, Gamboa, Burns, Diaz, Postol, Indongo, Horn, Benavidez.

    ALL were either coming off great wins, undefeated or went on to other good wins.

    The Real #1 p4p is Crawford or Lomachenko.

    Most people who know boxing know that. Usyk, top 5.

    The way he fell with the first knock down tells me he suffered a concussion. I’ve seen it before if you haven’t found your equilibrium any additional trauma can have a lasting effect. It dosent have to look bad or even be hard as proven in the NFL concussions can come in all different shapes and sizes but the effect have be deadly.

    I’m not sensationalizing honestly. I know guys that have passed away via brain bleeds with far less traumatic looking knock downs. It has everything to do with how he fell, acute brain trauma vs immediate slight separation of electric connectivity of the brain to the body two different types of knock downs.

    He's HOF already, let's see him win a HW title before we start talking ATG.

    Well, it seems like your standards of HOF differ from mine, when I talk HOF I talk great fighters with great accomplishments over a long period of time. If he's hof already, then Crawford is HOF already too, 3 division champion, unified 140, etc etc, undefeated, dominated almost everyone he fought. Very good opponents.

    Crawford and Lomachenko have to be 1 and 2 (Interchangable)

    Usyk not far behind.

    He's not McGregor. He's not going to come back and fight a top 3 guy off the bat. He's fighting Josesito Lopez next, shake the ring rust and take back his throne after that

    Usyk's resume is better. It is what it is, deal with it.
